From documentary to art-house cinema – and from an abundance of onscreen images to their complete absence – films that experiment variously with narration, voice-over and soundscapes do not only engage viewers’ thoughts and senses. They also make an appeal to visualise more than is perceptible on screen.
This book explores the extraordinary ways in which film can stimulate and direct the image-making capacity of the imagination. Bringing together an international range of films with debates in philosophy, film theory, literary scholarship and cognitive psychology, author Sarah Cooper charts the key processes that serve the imagining of images in the light of the mind.
Through its navigation of a labile and vivid mental terrain, this innovative work makes a profound contribution to the study of spectatorship.
Sarah Cooper is Professor of Film Studies at King’s College London. Her most recent publications include Film and the Imagined Image (2019) and a special issue of the journal Philosophies, ‘Thinking Cinema – With Plants’ (2023). She was Principal Investigator for the AHRC-funded Global Circulations of Film Theory network project (2023–24).
